Interdisciplinary study abroad is a new way of studying abroad, which allows students to choose two or more subjects for in-depth study and research. A typical example is the new major combining art design with computer. The new major combines the knowledge of art design and computer science, aiming to cultivate interdisciplinary talents with knowledge background in two fields. The significance of this interdisciplinary way of studying abroad is that it can help students better adapt to the changing social needs and market environment. In today's digital era, the combination of art design and computer technology has become a trend, which will continue to affect the future career development and market demand.

　　 Lunyi CCI

The Creative Computing Institute (CCI) set up by Lunyi mainly studies and explores the intersection of art, design and technology. The majors opened are all related to cutting-edge technology, such as the newly opened MSc Data Science and AI for the Creative Industries Creative Industry Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, which mainly provides training in applied computer science skills and data science, and teaches students how to introduce the functional methods of artificial intelligence into multiple design cases.

　　 ● MSc Creative Computing

　　 ● MA/MSc Computing and Creative Industry (Modular)

　　 Goldsmith College

There are two options for computing arts majors at Goldsmith College, University of London. One is MA Computational Arts, a one-year program; The other is MFA Computational Arts, 2-year system. The main difference between MFA and MA is that MFA students will study critical research in computational arts; And get more practice opportunities through studio practice - computational art.

　　 ● MA Computational Arts

　　 Yale University

　　 ● The major of Computing and the Arts is designed for those students who are interested in combining computer technology with artistic forms of expression, so that art majors can have scientific thinking and technical means, computer majors can be nourished by humanities, science and technology can be applied to a wider range of art fields, and bachelor's and master's degrees can be provided.

In the art direction, there are art, art history, music, architecture and drama studies for students to choose from.

　　 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

　　 ● CS+X is a separate specialty

UIUC is very prescient in this regard. The development of fields including humanities, art, agriculture and so on increasingly needs CS's data analysis skills. UIUC fully combines these disciplines with CS, aiming to train students to become creative and technical sensitive talents, so that graduates can better meet the needs of enterprise employers.

The degree program designed by UIUC is called "CS+X", that is, to develop professional knowledge and training in the field of art and science based on CS knowledge and skills, such as CS+music, CS+advertising, CS+anthropology, CS+linguistics, etc. CS+X is considered as a separate major and will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree after graduation.

　　 University of Southern California

Compared with the first two majors, Arts, Technology and the Business Innovation in NUS does not particularly emphasize CS skills, but develops cross domain knowledge and skills based on the framework of comprehensive learning. Students will deeply understand and learn the core issues in the fields of art and design, engineering and computer science, as well as business and risk management, accumulate real world industry experience, and widely use design, technology and business strategies to solve innovation problems.

In addition, NTU also set up an interdisciplinary animation research+practice MFA.

The master's degree program of the project aims to provide a higher level of education and research experience in animation and digital media fields across industries, academia and the arts.

This course aims to promote the expansion of practice, sort out new ideas, new voices and new ways of telling stories. Teaching focuses on experimental animation, documentary animation, immersive device, 3D animation, pre visualization, motion capture, IMAX, animation painting, stop motion animation, sound design and artificial intelligence. The courses give priority to flexibility, creativity and research.

Students of this project have a lot of opportunities to access Los Angeles cultural and artistic resources, internship resources, etc.

　　 Kamei BXA project

It cultivates students in a wide range of fields, from architectural design to performing arts and audio-visual arts, and consists of the Department of Architecture, the Department of Arts, the Department of Design, the Department of Drama, and the Department of Music.

Its graphic design, industrial design, architectural design and other disciplines are at the top level in the United States. A number of well-known artists and professionals at home and abroad have been cultivated in five subordinate departments of the Academy of Fine Arts (architecture, art, design, drama and music), related projects (BXA inter college degree project and art and entertainment management), Miller College of Contemporary Art and Frank Lache Creative Research Studio.

　　 ● The letters "B" and "A" in BXA refer to "Bachelor" and "Arts" respectively, and "X" means interdisciplinary. BXA is an inclusive term, which includes four specific majors, BCSA, BHA, BSA and EA, and is jointly founded by the Academy of Arts and the other four colleges.

        Massachusetts Institute of Technology

MIT has always been a pioneer in discipline exploration and innovation. In 2018, MIT keenly captured the positive role of technological development in urban construction, and opened a new undergraduate major, Urban Science and Planning with Computer Science, to integrate AI into urban planning and architectural design. MIT's architectural design specialty is the first in the United States, and many famous architectural designers have been trained here.
